Windstar

Windstar Cruises

Sailing under the banner of its appropriate tag line "180-degrees From Ordinary," Windstar was created in the mid-1980s with the vision to offer an alternative to the typical cruise or resort holiday. The Windstar passenger sees the world from a romantic sailing ship with luxurious accommodation, a casual yet elegant atmosphere, and exquisite service and cuisine.

Windstar's ships are officially masted-sail-yachts (msy), but the designation belies the vessels' unique rigging. Unfurling in two minutes at the push of a button, billowing white sails reach to the sky.
